Maryland Itinerary

Tracing the National Road

Follow a historic trail blazed over the centuries by adventurers, settlers and heroes.

America's first national highway follows a trail used by George Washington as a route to link the bustling port of Baltimore with the interior of a fledgling nation. You can still trace its historic route, beginning amid the skyscrapers and attractions of Baltimore's downtown and Inner Harbor and then traveling west along Frederick Road (Route 144) toward a museum celebrating a different chapter of transportation history, the Ellicott City B&O; Railroad Station Museum. Stop for coffee or an early lunch in this historic mill town of shops and eateries in century-old buildings nestled among rocky cliffs, then enjoy a living-history program about Colonial times and life along the National Road at Thomas Isaac's Log Cabin (1780).

Head west through small towns, across country creeks and up gradually rising mountains until you approach Frederick, where the National Road travels through the heart of the city's historic district. Stop to see Francis Scott Key's law office, browse the numerous antiques shops, or visit St. John the Evangelist, the second oldest consecrated Catholic Church in America (and one that continues to make history, considering the discovery of a diary written by a Civil War soldier on an obscured portion of the church's wall).

Have dinner in Frederick, followed by a concert at the Weinberg Center for the Arts or a play at the new Cultural Arts Center. Then settle in for the night at one of the city's small inns or bed & breakfasts.

West of Frederick, the National Road travels along what's now known as Route 40. As you pass through the Appalachian Mountains, you'll pass the Old South Mountain Inn. Take a moment to stretch your legs here and take in the breathtaking view. Your next stop is in Washington County, where you'll want to take the short stroll up to the nation's first memorial to the founder of the National Road (and our first president) at Washington Monument State Park. Continue on to historic Hagerstown, where you can visit the famous City Park, home to the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts. Take note of the graceful stone bridge built in 1819 over Conococheague Creek that allowed the Road to reach points farther west.
